A Much Needed Sabbatical

During this past week I have been overwhelmed by your good wishes. I cannot thank you enough for all the calls and kind words.

For those of you who worked so diligently on my campaign and to all who voted for me, I am so very thankful for your belief in what we sought to accomplish.

During the past six years, together, we created an important movement; a movement that has changed the course of governance in Boca Raton.

Change, however, is fragile. It will take continued diligence to keep the ‘resident’ in the forefront of the city council’s mind.

I urge you all to be diligent; to “watch” over the city council and keep the elected officials’ feet to the fire. Remain determined to creating a better Boca Raton for all the residents, present and future.

For a short while, “BocaWatch,” will be on sabbatical, but look for its return with a new team; a team who will move Boca to an even higher level!

Thank you again,

Al Zucaro
Publisher of BocaWatch (2012 – 2018)

Al, sorry to see you go. You have done so much in awakening the Boca neighborhood to the possibility of CHANGE! Change in how our Council and Mayor must recognize that all is not good with their decisions without the backing of ALL voters.
We must pick up the mantle of furthering a cohesive government under the watchful eye of all whether we live east of I95 or west of I95. We are ONE community and should make sure that we stay that way.
Al, you have started a powerful movement and I hope the new team can continue your legacy.
Best wishes to you,
Michael Bell

Thank you Mr. Zacaro for your time and talents you shared with the Boca Raton residents. I have enjoyed reading the articles in Boca Watch. Enjoy your time away and I hope to read more of your thoughts in the near future.
